Precautions
Do not touch the plug of the AC power cord with wet hands.
Protect the AC power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at
plugs, expansion receptacles and the point where the cord exits from the
system.
Do not use a cord for a standard residential telephone line or cables of types
other than those mentioned here. Using the wrong type of cord or cable can
cause more electrical current than necessary to flow through the LAN
connector, which may lead to heat build-up, fire or malfunction.
Do not place heavy items on the cord.
Do not place the AC power cord near heating equipment and do not expose
the cord to heat.
Wireless networking feature
Unplug the AC power cord from the electrical outlet before cleaning or moving
the system, or when you do not intend to use the system for an extended period
of time. When disconnecting, grasp the power cord by the plug and pull

an angle.
The 2.4 GHz range of radio waves used by the wireless networking feature of
this product is a range shared by various devices. This product has been
designed to minimize the effect of other devices using the same range.
However, in some cases interference from other devices may reduce the
connection speed, shorten the signal range or cause the connection to be
terminated unexpectedly.
Do not connect the AC power cord to a voltage transformer or inverter.
Connecting the AC power cord to a voltage transformer for overseas travel or
an inverter for use in an automobile may cause heat to build up in the system
and may cause burns or a malfunction.
